Super Summer kicks off today! Staffers have spent the last few days preparing physically and spiritually for the week ahead. As campers flood the campus of Ouachita Baptist University today, here are some specific ways you can pray with us:

- Pray for Jeremy Freeman as he serves as camp pastor for the week
- Pray that God would use the 130+ college-age staffers as they lead
- Pray that the Lord brings about salvation and life transformation for students

We are expectant and excited to see how God uses this week to impact eternity!

Students are not just the future of the church. They are an important part of God’s mission today.

Nearly 200 students from across Arkansas are spending this week doing more than learning about missions - they’re living it.

Through service projects, ministry opportunities, and Gospel conversations, students at Engage Camp are seeing firsthand how God can use them right where they are.

Here are a few photos from the week!
